INTRODUCTION

KLFEPE takes you to the heart of Kuala Lumpur, where our objective is to make you run in Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, where this ecological haven was first established as a reserve in 1906, rendering it one of the nation's oldest conservation areas. Set in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's bustling city centre, one can now discover the enchanting KL Forest Eco Park, a verdant oasis concealed amidst an urban sprawl.

The dimensions of this park encompass 9.3 hectares, also serving as a lush habitat for an array of wildlife species. Amongst some notable fauna include the Silver Leaf Monkeys and Long-Tailed Macaques, both of which have found comfort and refuge within its rich confines.

In addition to its strategic location and proximity to the city centre, KL Forest Eco Park also offers a variety of activities and attractions catering to visitors of all ages. KLFEPE covers not only KL Forest Eco Park but also the route around it, so that you enjoy both in and out of the areas. The race route is approximately 6.3 km per loop. Run as much as you can within the time allocated.

This event will run concurrently with Watermelon Sandglass Ultra (WMSG Ultra) with support of Jabatan Perhutanan Wilayah Persekutuan.
